Anti Aging Solution

A new study shows that the folded hands can reduce the intensity of pain. Research was conducted by researchers from University College London (UCL) and published in The Journel of Pain, May 2011.

They say that the folded arms folded arms of the automatic brain can be confusing because of the requirement to send information to the contrary. The way it works, one sends a signal to the body and others to send signals to the outside of the body that lead to pain.

Eight volunteers willing to be involved in this experiment. Puncture needle for four milliseconds with hands crossed and only on one side of the arm. Participants were asked to rate pain intensity in the two situations and EEG (electroencephalography) is used to measure the brain’s response to them.

The results showed that both the perception of pain and EEG activity decreases when the arms are crossed.

“Maybe when we hurt, we should not just rub, but also crossed hands,” said Giandomenico Iannetti of the physiology, pharmacology and neural UCL.

What’s on our minds today? What is our biggest concern, on average mind you, for being fulfilled or content in life? Is it making more money? Getting a bigger house? Finding a better job? Making sure our children can get into college? All these are valid and admirable goals. But I believe we have a more rudimentary desire. One rooted deep in our minds, hearts, bodies & souls. One that we are born with, yet when attempting to come to terms with it, we struggle. I’m talking about our health!

In our youth we run, and jump, and play, most of it outside in the sun and fresh air. Then, school brings our first introduction to the dangers of Indoor Air Quality (IAQ). No one tells us about it, yet there we are in the midst of it, day after day, for 12 years. Next comes college for a lot of people. More rooms, and different types of buildings. Larger gathering places with mechanical ventilation systems. People who have to be there an can’t afford to miss a day. So they come no matter how they feel, coughing & sneezing & hacking their way through class just to make a grade.

For many others it is the workplace, and Sick Building Syndrome (SBS). Unless you’re in the trades that allow you to work outdoor, many professional careers keep us tightly knit inside a building for 9 hours a day, 335 days a year, for what may turn out to be the next 40 years. The driving, the stress of performance, acceptance, advancement, it all adds up to, in many cases, more than our bodies can handle.

We study more, work more, and play less. We gather ‘things’ along the way, and the responsibility of maintenance becomes a burden to us all. We drink, we smoke, we eat… oh how we eat. Even if we don’t smoke, or if we don’t drink (alcohol), we consume so many other things that our bodies don’t need; fats, sugars, caffeine, carbohydrates, manufactured fillers & dyes that we can’t process, or simply just can’t handle in the volumes by which we ingest them. We are quite literally polluting our system with toxins. Our body then goes into a self-preservation mode, and it begins to store this excess in various ways to protect us from our self-destructive lifestyle. Fat becomes an insulation between life & death. In some people, that is the only reason they are still alive. The body actually stores the toxins in the fat cells so that they do not kill us when we’re unable to excrete them from our body in the normal course of bodily functions.

Which brings me to diseases. Given the environment I’ve just described, is it any surprise that we have such epidemic proportions of diabetes, gout, arthritis, acid reflux, osteoporosis, erectile dysfunction, attention deficit, autism, Alzheimer’s, and numerous forms of cancer, that all spread havoc throughout our society today?

Perhaps you formed good habits that began at a very young age, continued through adulthood, and on into your senior years. Good eating, drinking, and exercise routines that didn’t end when life’s transitions occurred. But when you did not get the good direction in your younger days, and now you’re suffering from such ailments as have been mentioned, what does one do?

Resveratrol, alkaline, antioxidants, immune system boosters, to name just a few, can be found in natural forms when a person observes proper dietary habits. But when you’re so far into the game that you may never offset the damage done, simply by normalizing your eating habits alone, must we automatically turn to Big Pharma for the all-to-often sought after ‘quick fix’?

The pH in your body can be altered by drinking Alkaline water. Antioxidants as well, can be found in alkaline water. Resveratrol can be found in a glass of red wine, and if you’re like me and don’t drink alcohol, then you can find it in highly concentrated forms of consumable juice products Resveratrol has also been show in studies to actually enhance some cancer treatment medications. Lastly, let me add, it has been proven by Otto Warburg, winner of the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1931, that cancer cannot survive in an alkaline environment, and his thesis went on to show that cancer thrives in an acidic environment. http://www.nndb.com/people/682/000127301/

So, after all that, my questions are these: Why do we continue to focus so much on “treatment”? And, in this world of knowledge, technology, advancement, and higher learning of which we live, when are we going to shift our attention to ‘PREVENTION’? There have to be close to $700 billion reasons every year that the pharmaceutical industry doesn’t want us to change. And don’t expect any doctors to get off that wagon train anytime soon either. The fastest hands I’ve ever seen are those of a doctor reaching for the prescription pad.

Please don’t misunderstand me here, I accept that modern medicine has a place in our society. The vast majority of us, at one time or another, have been aided in our recovery efforts by a pill or potion. I just think it’s time for us to take a good hard look at ourselves, at our personal responsibility, and the simple approach to health by taking matters into our own hands. Then we have to decide to make a change in our habits, our choices, and our lifestyles. If you keep doing what you’ve always done, you’ll continue to get what you’ve always gotten. A wish changes nothing, a decision changes everything. Decide today, please.
